Lurch Germany Julienne Vegetable Y Peeler 5.1 x 2.3 Inches / 13 cm x 6 cm | Stainless Steel Cutter & Slicer for Carrot, Potato & Apple | Veggie Zoodles Maker | Non-slip Comfortable Handle - Black

I first encountered these when I was in Japan in 2005. I have had a number of cheap plastic handled versions that seem to break after a while. This one is made of metal, and should last a lifetime. It is incrediblly sharp. I was worth the extra money and makes quick work of julienning carrots, cucumbers, daikon, or other firm vegetables.

At last—a shredder that makes julienning carrots effortless for my egg rolls and salads. Well-designed, razor-sharp, and built to last. As a left-handed user, I appreciate how smoothly it works with minimal effort. Wish I had discovered this gem before wasting money on other kitchen tools for the same task. Oh, and I also tested it on daikon—it performed beautifully! Making pickled daikon and carrots took no time at all. Purchase with confidence. Enjoy!

This peeler is incredible, which seems like an outsized thing to say about a peeler but dang if this thing won’t improve your quality of life. I had no idea the mediocrity I was putting up with for DECADES by using whatever peeler I picked up at whatever discount store eons ago. The impetus for buying this was a butternut squash soup I like to make in the fall and winter. I always buy the pre-cubed squash because I never wanted to deal with peeling one, which I’ve tried to do at my own peril several times through the years. Lately though, I really don’t like the quality or price of the cubed butternut squash at my grocery store. So I decided it was time to grow up and peel one successfully all by my adult self. I searched for heavy duty peelers and found this one, and I must report that I now have actual regret over the years of my life that I spent with substandard, pieces-of-junk peelers. My eyes are now opened to just how badly I cheated myself with them. Using this one, I peeled two butternut squashes like they were butter. I mean, who knew the joy to be had from a better peeler. Plus the squash tasted so much better than the pre-cubed stuff. Why do kitchen upgrades never mention peelers? These are the kinds of questions I am legit asking. People talk about their pots and pans and appliances and knives but no one ever mentions a peeler and I think I must now embark on a mission to change that. Anyway, do yourself a favor, stop messing around with the trash peeler you currently have and get this one.

This is so much fun to use! I no longer have to drag out the food processor just to julienne carrots. The strips are thin, but I love how easy it is and how quickly the carrots cook in stir fry.

High quality German steel.

I would give this 4.5 stars. I'm still getting used to the handle vs my old favorite which fit better in my palm and the gouging tool isn't as good as my vintage one which was more like a little curved blade vs a loop. It's larger than my old one which I don't love but this one is exceptionally sharp and I think once I've gotten used to it I will be very satisfied. I like the handle being sheathed for comfort which many were not. When I first tried it I thought I had inverted it, the stroke was so effortless- but then saw the paper-thin peeling. It peels much thinner and easier than my old trusty. In some ways I'm not sure that's great since some peels I feel need to go a little deeper due to thicker skin or things like eyes and such, but I think I'm still adjusting to it on that part after years of my previous peeler. It operates so smoothly it's easy enough to hit a spot 2 or 3 times as needed and in many cases the thinner peeling is nice as you aren't forsaking more than necessary. I bought it at almost double the expense of others I looked at based on reviews, and I too would also recommend this as being worth the extra investment.

Súper genial

I love this peeler! It fits into my hand so comfortably and peels so smoothly I hardly realized it was peeling the cucumber! Peels are very thin too so saves valuable vitamins/minerals just below the skin. I’d definitely buy this again!!
